We just added some clouds during "Pixelart for Beginners" for our "Occult Office: Lofi Rituals" game background. Simple shapes with just 2 colors will serve as a good base for further polish. @akjarosz.bsky.social did a good job!

Some insights into our character art design process for "Vampire Tactics".

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Hi everyone, Reports that the Pixel Dailies server has been hacked are correct. If you're still a part of the Discord server, please report the moderator account "Jamie" block them and leave the server.

I had a great time with Dragon Ruins II by @yomigael.bsky.social, so I wrote a review and looked a bit deeper into the game-design. It's a really cool game if you want to support a talented indie-developer or never played a dungeon-crawler before! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Last 45 minutes, to get something during my biggest sale of the year! It's literally a one in a year chance to get the things for this price.

2025 was a year blessed with great indie games. Here are 4 interesting hidden gems: 1. Deck of Haunts @mantisgames.bsky.social 2. Dragon Ruins II @yomigael.bsky.social 3. Kingdoms of the Dump @kingdomsofthedump.bsky.social 4. Quartet @somethingclassic.bsky.social thingclassic.bsky.social

Drew a couple of #pixelart tombstones. Might even find a way to use them in Vampire Tactics...

And here's an example of Thomas using this very technique for the tilesets in Quartet.

There are many ways to make generic #pixelart textures much more interesting. Some are subtle, others more pronounced.
